I road thru this route back in 86 on a tres estrellas de oro, scariest drive ever, cars hanging on the sides of mountains, crosses and death markers every fkn where...scary !!!
My uncle's would go and buy and pick up hay in Mexicali from Tijuana in their big rigs went with them once in the late 70s early 80s.... scariest highway back then
@@RoadTripInsights El espinazo del diablo (The spine of the devil) between Durango and Sinaloa its even worse but since its mostly used by the locals there the accidents are rare. Back in 2015 before our government did a clean up removing the wrecks before that year you could still see wrecks that happened in the 70s 80s and 90s we also theorized the older wreckages were related to the ghosts, from the legends I remember I saw an old cabover truck very mangled I think It was an International transtar from the 70s.
This is the scariest?! It's got two lanes and it's wide and beautiful and has tons of guardrails! I'm sure it's unnerving to be up that high but we have so many winding, poorly maintained mountain highways with no guardrails up here in Alta California that are utter deathtraps compared to this modern version of the road.
@@RoadTripInsights actually after watching your video and some research, I realized that this is the road my dad has told me stories about when he went to Mexico one time in the 70s and saw big rigs going over the side of this terrifying road. Like all dads he tends to exaggerate but this one turned out to be true!
Is this newly built? My dad would say La Rumors was the scariest hwy in Mexico back in the 1980s. Watching this video, it doesn't seen too scary if you drive slowly.

Nice video, steady camera made it nicer. Thanks for taking the time in making it and sharing with us. Thanks again.😊
Glad you liked it!
I drove this 35 years ago. Two lanes and funeral markers on the side of the road with a wrecked car way down below.
Try this in 1958 riding on an old bus going uphill and seeing all those cars down in the ravine.
We can only imagine… Wish I could film it in 1958
Same, only it was 1988 for me. An 18 wheeler was actually still burning at the bottom. I was 7 years old. 💯
@@alvarado8557 ☹
@@alvarado8557 yup, I remember going thru this as a kid in the 80s and seeing the crumpled and charred remains of vehicles down below.
Same here. I remember as a kid seeing lots of semi trucks smashed at the bottom of the mountain.

I've been through that road a few times and always as beautiful as scary....I can say.
The end of Ortega highway when your about to get to lake Elsinore is worse
I believe it

I am planning to take the bus from Tijuana to Mexicali, is that considered generally safe?
Yes, it's very safe.
@@RoadTripInsights thank you for your comment, I feel more relieved now!
It's was 2 lanes highway on the old times like before 90s, now it's 4 lanes
The most dangerous road in Mexico with very good signaged
👍

@@giancarlolugo9586 Wow that's very interesting! I need to do more research on that. 👍
nice video
Thanks
It is a great road for motorcycles.
I saw a lot of bikers going between Mexicali and Tecate.
When we go from Mexicali to Tijuana or Rosarito we always cross through here
That’s the only road from Mexicali to Tj
Nice video.

It had a lot of notoriety back in the days and is still dangerous during winter months with black ice, especially for truck drivers.

La sierra de Hidalgo

Thanks for the ride! Just heard about this highway this morning! Great vid & background music
Not nearly as dangerous and scary as Old Rumorosa
